Over the course of three albums—each arguably better than the last—Annie Clark has established herself as one of indie rock's most reliably innovative acts. But as her strengths (dazzlingly ornate arrangements, intricately designed wordplay) have generally trended toward the cerebral, the literate, and the sophisticated, her music has never felt particularly dangerous.

Last fall, Annie Clark emerged from 18 long months on the road—which included the Strange Mercy tour and her Love This Giant gigs with David Byrne—ready to work.

The simply-titled St. Vincent arrived far earlier than anyone would have expected from such a busy artist, but it doesn't feel rushed; rather, it's the product of a musician on an inspired streak.

St. Vincent With Wildbirds & Peacedrums at El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, CA, February 9, 2010
Feb 17, 2010By Laura Studarus

SXSW is a guessing game. There are many hundreds of bands playing at so many different venues, that you can have a fantastic or a lousy time depending on who you see and how well you second guess how long it will take to get into each venue. The goal is to spend most of your time seeing as many great bands as possible, and as little time possible waiting in line or sitting through sets from bands you don’t want to see just to make sure you’re in the venue in time to see the bands you do want to see. Your enemies are late set times and the varying degrees of sound quality at Austin’s many venues. More
